can the droid get viruses
I am thinking bout getting a droid and I was wondering if smartphone can get viruses, spyware and adware from Internet use like a computer can??
...
They can, but it's not really common at all. I would not hesitate in getting a smart phone due to viruses. You should have no worries about that. You will be fine.

Well that virus thing depends. How much porn do you plan to be looking at on your new smartphone?
...
In my opinion, it ranks up there in security because the thing is Java based. Everything runs in a very tightly controlled sandbox with a doting superclass that (is supposed to) step on funny business.
Is it possible for malware to affect this phone? Anything is possible, but the only way to assure it doesn't happen to you is not to get one.
I wouldn't let it stop you.
